 | | Therefore the valuation which sets all Ki to true will satisfy all the elements of G. Another proof is as follows: we use Konig’s lemma, which claims that if T is a binary branching tree, such that every branch is finite, the number of nodes is finite. |
 | | A model @ of a set of sentences G is an L-structure that satisfies @ = f for all f in G. We next prove the first-order logic compactness theorem, which states that if a set of sentences G is such that each finite subset of G has a model, then G has a model. |
 | | Recursively enumerable can be thought of as being able to find the positive cases, but not the negative ones – i.e., one cannot falsify some inclusion in the set, since the program may not converge. |
